UFO Observation Report — Lynbrook, New York, 28 May 1967

This document contains a UFO sighting report filed by a 16-year-old amateur astronomer from Lynbrook, New York. On the night of May 28, 1967, at approximately 9:30 PM EST, the witness observed an oval-shaped, bright glowing white object moving from north to south. The witness estimated the object's speed to be between 75 and 100 mph and noted that it left a whitish trail between two parallel lines across the horizon. The witness, who identified themselves as a member of the Lynbrook Astronomy Club, provided a detailed questionnaire and a hand-drawn sketch of the object, noting that it appeared 'a little fuzzy or blurry at the edges.' The witness explicitly ruled out meteors, comets, satellites, and aircraft as potential explanations. The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Foreign Technology Division (AFSC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, responded to the witness on June 21, 1967. Colonel James C. Manatt informed the witness that the provided information was insufficient for a scientific evaluation and requested that the witness complete an attached FTD Form 164 for further analysis.
